Aryan and Aarohi were sitting with Papa, working on their homework.
Suddenly, Aryan asked:
“Papa, what’s this funny number called ‘i’? Our teacher said it’s imaginary!” 🤔
Papa smiled:
“Ah! That little ‘i’ is more magical than you think. Want to hear a secret?”
🔢 What is ‘i’?
- ‘i’ is a special number.
- It’s used when you try to find the square root of -1.
Normally, numbers multiplied by themselves give positive answers.
But ‘i’ is different—it says:
i × i = -1
That’s why it’s called imaginary!
🌌 But What Can It Do?
Papa leaned in:
“In physics, we use ‘i’ to switch between two worlds:
One with time… and one with no time at all!”
⏳ Switching Between Time and Space
Here’s the trick:
- Our usual world = space + time.
- Scientists use something called Wick Rotation (sounds like magic, right?) 🤹♂️
When they multiply time by ‘i’,
POOF! Time disappears!
You enter a place with only space, no ticking clocks! 🕰️❌
🛸 Like Jumping to Timeless Land!
Imagine:
- Your mobile game has levels.
- Press a secret button → You freeze time,
move freely, no monsters chasing!
Multiplying by ‘i’ = Pressing that secret button!
💭 What’s So Cool About Timeless Land?
In this place:
- Past, present, future all exist together like pages of a book! 📖✨
- You can explore any scene without worrying about time running out!
🌟 Final Secret:
Papa smiled:
“Even though ‘i’ is called imaginary,
it helps us understand REAL deep truths about our Universe!”
So next time you see ‘i’,
just imagine it’s your passport to Timeless Land! 🌌🛸
